He looks calm alright, he looks downright comatose out there.

Like many here have said Tay is a decent 4th or 5th option....WHen he's a focal point of hte offense yo uare in trouble as he disappears quite a bit.

After Prince's 11 point explosion the other night, he came back strong with a 2 and 1 effort vs the Mavs. Intangibles, once again, through the roof! Luckily we have this bridge from our past and calm veteran professionalism blah blah blah locked up for three more years.

Speaking of "blah blah blah"..........

Kstat · 01-11-2012, 07:54 AM

Yeah. Tayshaun is the one guy on the floor not getting killed on defense currently. SOmeone needs to get over his obsession....

The King · 01-11-2012, 05:49 PM

Blah, blah, blah.

Whiteman · 01-11-2012, 06:00 PM

We need a line up change. Maybe bring Tay off the bench to provide scoring or something. I have given up on Daye already. Hell I was pumping him up but dude just doesnt have it.

Fire Dumars now 3 years and no trade...

FadedMario · 01-11-2012, 11:26 PM

Prince is hot garbage. Now I just read a report that he's complaining to the media already. WTF is Dumars doing to this team. He needs to go.

Mel Kiper Jr · 01-11-2012, 11:30 PM

There was always speculation that Prince could break out...I think this clearly shows that he benefitted from having all-stars around him those years.

Orwellian O. · 01-11-2012, 11:44 PM

Tay just needs to "do stuff." He has the talent and abilities....I guess the problem...especially at this point in his career, is his motor.

Mel Kiper Jr · 01-11-2012, 11:48 PM

At this point in his career? We have him signed for 3 or 4 years after this...

Tayshaun Prince is frustrated by the Pistons’ 2-8 start to the season.

"Of course that's not how I envisioned it coming in, for it to be painful," Prince said after the Mavericks dropped the Pistons, 100-86 on Tuesday. "I expected to see progress."

Prince scored 2 points in 22 minutes against the Mavericks.

"I'm always good playing through the rhythm of the offense," Prince said. "And our rhythm is just not there, we haven't picked it up. Hopefully it'll come as we continue but the improvement hasn't been there yet.

"I think the defense is frustrated to the point where it's carrying into the offensive end. Every time we make a couple shots, a couple turnovers and then the momentum swings back over to the other team. At first it was defense trying to really get things together but now it's on both ends."

Via Detroit News

How can Prince even be saying anything when he's been our worst starter by far.

Whiteman · 01-12-2012, 01:37 PM

So Tay needs rythem in the offense for him to have an impact?

Excuse!!!

capnpaco · 01-12-2012, 01:43 PM

I don't really see anything offensive in those comments. He says the team's playing badly. It's hard to argue with that. He's not complaining about coaching or throwing teammates under the bus or asking for a trade or anything like that.

Jeff Hause · 01-12-2012, 01:51 PM

(... Darn it.)

Whiteman · 01-12-2012, 02:33 PM

We resigned players that braught us a losing season the last 3 years. To expect different results is insane.

Im starting to think either no one around the league wants our players or the Dumars plan is to really tank.

I agree.

We suck collectively but, also, we have improved so much from the last year.

Stefan S · 01-12-2012, 03:40 PM

For all thouse having doubts about this signing, imagine this --

if Tay was not our starting SF, most likely Daye would have to start
(or at least got significant playing time).

It makes me wanna puke.
(Unless Daye dramatically revrses recent trends.)

joe servo · 01-12-2012, 04:25 PM

Because Daye is the only other sf on the planet? I don't understand this logic.

Jeff Hause · 01-12-2012, 04:37 PM

Bring Stack in. As least there'd be fisticuffs when we lose....

How's Singler doing over in Europe?
